Kick start your weekend with a visit to Mary's, the bar and burger joint worthy of its hype as one of the best in Sydney - where the music is loud and the buzz of good times is louder.

The vibe in ten words or lessFast. Loud. Bad for the heart; good for the soul.

What you should orderThe Mary's burger, with a side of fried chicken. The wine list is far slicker than your average burger joint's, but if you prefer your tipple with a little more kick, their Bloody Mary could almost convince you it was named for them.

What's on the playlistQueens Of The Stone Age's 'A Song For The Dead'; A$AP Ferg's 'Dump Dump'; Metallica's 'Master Of Puppets'.

Who to meet thereYour loudest friends. Not your parents.

Fun factAbout 10,000 burgers are served up – and wolfed down – in a week between the two venues.

This Mardi Gras weekend, turn your Mary's burger into a "Fairy's" burger covered in 100s & 1000s for an extra dollar and owners and all-round legends Jake Smyth and Kenny Graham will match it to donate to charity.
